This landscape of rolling hills and farms, where horses and buggies share the roads with cars, is a beer destination.

Brewpub Visit: Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant in Lancaster is right across the street from picturesque Franklin & Marshall College. I stopped in for an early lunch on a Sunday and the place was already packed — I could tell this was a popular spot with the locals.

After reviewing the beer chalkboard…

I ordered the eight beer sampler:

The sampler included five house beers plus three seasonals:

Light Lager

Vienna Red Lager

Raspberry Wheat

Ironbound Ale (American Pale Ale)

Pig Iron Porter

Harvest Saison (seasonal Belgian Ale)

Sayanora IPA

Great Pumpkin Stout (9.1% ABV)

There were more on tap and I wanted to try them all, so I followed my 8-beer sampler with a 4-beer sampler:

Oktoberfest

Rauchtoberfest

Pumpkin Ale

Cowabunga Porter

I really liked that Iron Hill had so many different fall seasonals — it’s too hard to pick a favorite! In keeping with the Halloween spirit, I carried out a growler of Pumpkin Ale.
